You see I agree with the posters who see this as a horrible miscarriage of justice. But if you don't agree 100%, you are beyond the pale. And I agree with others who think those saying this is the Bush's fault is just nuts. I don't think or expect that the Bushs could have done anything within the law to stop this. I think MS has been demonized beyond truthfulness but at the same time I am convinced he is not a good man, is cruel and should not have been making decisions for her. And the Schindlers have my profound pity but they were used by forces greater than themselves to their detriment. This is a horrible thing but there is no corner for those who won't take a side and fight with others. There is no room for reflection and considering other's opinions.

Well put. The more I think about this whole situation I find that there are no heroes in it. Everybody involved is distasteful to some extent. While I agree with MS having the right to make decisions for his wife, he seems a pretty slimy character. While I admire the Schindlers for their devotion, I don't get the feeling all this was done purely for the good of their daughter. For the rest - Jesse Jackson, Randall Terry, Hammesfahr, Greer, the circus outside the hospice, judges, politicians, Tom Delay, et al, they all need to shut up and go home.

The only innocent in all this was Terri, who no matter what her wishes were has been poorly served.

Randjuke, thanks for posting that. It sums up my (mixed) feelings on this sad case very well.
